Summary: He left again. It didn't make a difference that he had convinced the Hokage to make it official mission. The fact is he left. And he didn't even have the guts to say good bye face to face. Who needs a stupid letter?

Chapter Three
-.-
Waking up is hard.
Waking up is something all people do. Just a simple chore. Just routine. But today; today it was almost impossible. He probably would not have even breathed if his body didn't do that on its own already.
With the sun glaring in his eyes, Naruto pushed himself from the bed, groaning with every movement of his body. The first day is always the hardest. That was how the saying goes. His only hope was that the saying held true, so for now he would persevere.
Keep trying.
First on his list of 'to do's' was to clean the house. Clean it of all its reminders; all smells. Last night had shown him just how weak he really was. He had to finish this today while his mind was still clear.
Half way through his cleaning of the kitchen, a banging at the door signified he had a visitor.
He did not need company.
He did not want company.
All the smirking and condescending looks, the people saying he should have seen it coming. Maybe they were trying to be nice, comforting maybe. But then why, why did they just seem to be pushing him down more? Was it paranoia?
Pushing himself off his hands and knees, he staggered his way to the entrance, his leg muscles feeling sluggish. From the way the banging was becoming more and more insistent, he could guess that the person didn't like being ignored. But you didn't always get what you liked, did you?
Opening it to the sound of rusted hinges, he didn't even pretend to be surprised at who was before him. Turning he left the door wide open as he made his way back to the kitchen, the padding of feet following him.
"What are you doing here, Dog Breath?"
Flinching slightly at the nickname, Kiba showed no signs of wanting to reply. Sighing, Naruto gestured to the couch.
"If it's about last night then you can save your breath, I'm not ready to consider such options. Put it down to wounded pride or whatever you want. I'm just not ready." He glanced up quickly to see a soft smile spread over Kiba's face.
"I'm glad you're at least thinking about it. I'm sure you could look after the baby fine by yourself, but it's nice to have help, isn't it?" Kiba held out his hand to Naruto, pulling him down onto the couch too.
"Now we have other matters to sort out. First and foremost is do you have any form of income? I'm guessing that you won't be on missions for a while. I'm not pushing my way in, I'm just sorting these basic things out. Once done, you can have seven months to think about it."
Hearing a gasp, Kiba looked over at Naruto, confused.
"How in the hell did you know I am two months? Oh God, don't tell me your nose can tell that too!" It was almost comical, the look on Naruto's face; beet red with anger, yet scrunched up in confusion.
Laughing, Kiba chose to ignore the question, preferring to ask his once again hoping for an answer. Naruto sighed and decided that it wouldn't hurt to get the basics sorted out now.
"Well, I have complete access to the Uchiha treasur-"
"Wow, I guess income is covered."
Receiving a glare, Kiba allowed Naruto to continue.
"The Uchiha treasury, and I will be leaving in a few months for an extended mission. That has already been sorted out with the old hag. But I'm not sur-" Naruto leapt from the couch running to the bathroom. Heaving sounds flowed from the tiled room as anxious steps followed him in.
"Shit. If I didn't trust my nose before then I sure as hell do now." His voice softened as he held Naruto's hair back making soothing circles on the back of his neck. "What have you done to yourself, mate?" he whispered quietly.
Naruto rinsed his mouth out slowly before turning. His head swam with more than just queasiness. Looking at Kiba he noticed that the bo-man looked expectant. Realizing that he hadn't finished his earlier sentence, he continued, voice scratchy and rough from his previous activities.
"I'm not sure if I should go earlier though. It's almost impossible to keep secrets in this village and the longer I stay the bigger the chance there is that someone else will find out. I don't think I can risk that."
He waited for an answer, noticing how Kiba's brow was furrowed. Be it annoyance, confusion, or something else entirely, he was not sure.
"Sooner. As Soon as you can, you should go, Naruto. You're right. It is much too hard and dangerous to keep a secret this big in Konoha. Talk it out with the Hokage and see when you can leave. I think it's about time we finished your cleaning though; enough of these serious topics." He smiled down at Naruto, already making his way to the half clean kitchen.
Naruto stared after Kiba, not quite understanding what was going on.
A/N
Thank you for the reviews so far. It was mentioned by someone that my chapters should be longer, but since this one was already finished, it didn't feel right to add on the stuff I had written for the forth chapter in it. I promise though that from here on in my chapters will be longer. Now I have a bit of a pole for you. Who would you like Kiba to end up with? Here's a list of potentials, but you can try and convince me of others.
Hinata
Neji (wtf?)
Shino
Shikamaru
Kankuro
I'm not putting in Itachi even though I know he is popular because it would so0o not fit with my story. I am asking everyone who he should end up with because even though it may look like it is going towards the KibaNaru sort of area, it is most definitely SASUNARU. No WAY is that going to change.
Oh, one question. Is it just me or is the style of writing completely changing from how it first started? It feels weird. Change is good in some cases, but I don't think this change is making it better. Oh well.
See ya soon
